Chapter 154 The Wang Family's Response

I don’t know how much time passed.

Zhiyuan slowly came back to her senses and realized that she had not yet had time to put on her clothes. He lowered his eyes slightly, put on his clothes neatly, stood up, stood in the room, and took a deep breath.

After his expression returned to normal, he walked to the door of the room, opened the door and walked out.

In the courtyard, the cool wind was blowing, and there were some dead leaves scattered in the courtyard, adding a bit of autumn atmosphere.

Zhiyuan glanced around and saw Lin Jiangnian under the eaves of the courtyard. He was on the steps under the eaves, looking at the distance ahead with interest.

Looking in the distance along the line of sight, there are the lofty mountains and the green scenery in the middle of the mountain.

Yanzhou is located in the south. The difference from the north is that even in autumn, the scenery is still like spring, without the bleakness of autumn.

Zhiyuan stood there for a moment, then stepped closer.

Lin Jiangnian heard the footsteps behind him and glanced back. Zhiyuan, wearing coarse linen clothes, was approaching. The simple clothes could not hide her excellent temperament and the proud figure under the clothes.

Lin Jiangnian glanced at it and then looked away.

No words were spoken.

Zhiyuan stopped, just a few steps behind Lin Jiangnian, stared at his back quietly for a few times, and then suddenly spoke.

"When will you go back?"

Lin Jiangnian turned around again, half-smiling but not smiling: "Back to where?"

Zhiyuan avoided his sight and said calmly: "Xunyang City."

After a moment of pause, she said in a slightly cold tone: "Wang Changjin and Wang Qin are still alive."

She did not continue, but Lin Jiangnian understood what she meant.

"Your injury has just improved, so it's not appropriate to mess around."

Zhiyuan lowered her eyes: "I'm fine."

Lin Jiangnian sneered: "Do you think that in your current situation, even if you return to Xunyang City, you can kill them?"

"Can you take revenge again?"

Zhiyuan pursed her lips and remained silent.

She wanted to retort, but in the end she didn't.

She knew her injuries best. It would be difficult to kill Wang Changjin's uncle and nephew under the current circumstances.

"Just wait a little longer."

Lin Jiangnian looked back at her, stared at her cold face for a while, and said, "Now is not the best time to take action."

Zhiyuan frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt.

"Uncle and nephew Wang Changjin, you probably think that you and I are dead now, right?"

Lin Jiangnian laughed. He was trapped in a secret room in the back mountain, and was suddenly collapsed and buried by an explosion. As expected, in Wang Changjin's eyes, he and Zhiyuan were probably dead long ago.

"Once you and I die, for the Wang family, on the one hand, we will have eliminated our great enemy. On the other hand, the Wang family may be in a state of panic and vigilance..."

Prince Lin's death, what does it mean to them?

Although Lin Jiangnian is dead, the Wang family needs to face the anger of Prince Lin's Mansion.

Wang family, how can we not panic?

"In that case, let's just follow the plan."

Lin Jiangnian looked at Zhiyuan with a playful look: "Have a good time playing with them."

…

Three days have passed since the explosion in the secret room behind the private house. In these three days, turmoil inevitably occurred in and outside Xunyang City.

Naturally, such a violent explosion cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of interested people.

Not long after the explosion, various forces inside and outside Xunyang City sent people to investigate. Even the city defense troops in the city were alerted and strengthened the city's defense.

All the forces came back with serious expressions on their faces after inquiring. Everyone looked gloomy and worried, as if something big had happened.

Some news cannot be hidden after all.

And these news also spread among the people. Rumors and gossip about the explosion abounded.

The explosion outside Xunyang City shook the ground and finally made many people realize that something was wrong.

Outside Xunyang City.

Back hill, private house.

After that night, the entire private residence was completely under the control of Prince Lin's army.

The corpses inside and outside the private house had long been swept away and moved, but traces of the fight that night still remained around, as well as the bloody smell in the air that had not yet completely dissipated, adding a sense of chill to both the inside and outside of the private house.

The secret sentry outside the private residence had long been controlled by the prince's own army, and was on alert again to block outside forces.

In the past few days, I don't know how many forces came secretly, trying to find out what was going on in the private house, but in the end it was to no avail. The masters of the secret forces did not even get close to the door, and then their identities were exposed and they fled in embarrassment.

At this moment, in a private house.

In a yard.

There were many wounded people placed in the hospital.

Those who were injured by the soldiers around the prince were stationed here for treatment.

A figure appeared under the eaves of the corridor in the courtyard, pushed open one of the rooms, and walked in.

In the room, Lin Kong was lying on the bed recovering from his injuries.

His face was pale and without any blood. When he saw the person outside the door, he quickly struggled to get up.

"Your Highness, have you found it?"

The voice was low, with a somewhat anxious look.

The person who came in from the door was Lin Qingqing.

In just a few days, Lin Qingqing became quite haggard. Her originally fair face was full of tiredness and her eyes were bloodshot.

She hasn't had much rest in days!

After Sister Zhiyuan left, she replaced Sister Zhiyuan and became the commander of the Crown Prince's army. After the explosion in the secret room in the back mountain, Lin Qingqing led the people who had not been affected by the explosion and began to dig the mountain without sleep.

"No."

Lin Qingqing's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of deep exhaustion and anxiety in her tone.

There is also a deep sense of powerlessness.

Three days have passed since the explosion, which means His Highness has been buried in the secret room for three days.

Three days...

Even if His Highness is not covered by the collapsed secret room, he is probably at the end of his strength.

His Highness, your life is at stake!

However, it is difficult for them to dig out the secret room in a short time. What's more, they don't have a secret room map. If they really dig like this, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Hearing this news, Lin Kong's hands and feet are also cold and his face is pale.

The possibility of surviving being buried in the secret room is already very low, not to mention that three days have passed.

Thinking of a certain possibility, Lin Kong's face is extremely ugly.

He is the person who least wants His Highness to get into trouble!

Miss Su Lu's life is still in the hands of His Royal Highness. If something happens to His Royal Highness, Miss Su may not be able to escape when the King Lin is furious...

He struggled to get up, but because of the serious injuries on his body, he coughed violently a few times, and his face became paler: "Then, what should we do now?!"

Lin Qingqing lowered her eyes slightly, and her bare hands under her sleeves were clenched tightly, so tightly that they trembled slightly.

In the secret room, there is not only His Royal Highness, but also Sister Zhiyuan.

Lin Qingqing did not dare to think further, a sad emotion surged in her heart, followed by unspeakable anger and deep murderous intent.

"I have ordered people to mobilize the troops in Yanzhou. If nothing unexpected happens, they will arrive soon!"

Lin Qingqing spoke in a deep voice.

Lin Kong frowned when he heard this: "Wouldn't this be too risky? The relationship between the governor of Yanzhou and the prince is not very good. If the troops of Yanzhou are easily mobilized, what if..."

"I know!"

Lin Qingqing looked at him expressionlessly and coldly: "But what if, His Highness dies?"

Lin Kong's heart trembled, but he didn't speak.

What if His Highness dies?

The sky of Xunyang County might be pierced!

No one knows what the prince who lost his son will do.

But based on their understanding of the prince's character, the Wang family of Xunyang County is probably doomed.

"The whole Wang family will pay a heavy price, and none of them can escape."

Lin Qingqing said in a grim tone: "I have ordered people to report this matter back to Linjiang City as soon as possible and report it to the prince..."

Now that they are in Yanzhou, although they can mobilize part of the troops in Yanzhou, if the governor intervenes, it might cause a lot of trouble.

But on the other hand, without the order of the court, the soldiers and horses in Linzhou are not allowed to cross the border and enter Yanzhou at will.

Once this happens, it means there is an intention of rebellion.

Unless that person is the prince!

…

Xunyang City.

Wang Family.

The entire Wang family has been in chaos and people are in a state of panic.

At this moment, in the lobby of the front yard.

Wang Shiquan listened to the news outside the city reported by the servants, his face was gloomy and particularly ugly.

Shocked and angry.

Big explosion outside the city?

Private residence?

Guarded by the personal army of the Prince of Lin?

After learning this news, Wang Shiquan's face became more and more ugly.

"Go down and continue to keep an eye on the private residence. Report to me as soon as there is any movement!"

"On the other hand, pay close attention to the movements in Linzhou in the south!"

"..."

After instructing the servants, Wang Shiquan hurried into the backyard.

In the backyard.

The autumn wind was bleak, and Wang Changjin was sitting in the pavilion with a pot of hot tea on the stone table.

Wang Qin was following behind Wang Changjin, with his head down, looking like a turtle, not daring to breathe.

Wang Shiquan walked into the pavilion quickly, looking at the two with a gloomy face: "Look, what the hell did you do?!"

"Are you really going to kill our Wang family?!"

Wang Shiquan was furious.

After the explosion outside the city, Wang Changjin took Wang Qin back to the Wang family, and Wang Shiquan knew everything.

He was shocked and angry, his hands and feet were cold.

He never thought that his own brother and his only son would do such a shocking thing behind his back!

Even though Wang Shiquan had experienced too many storms, he felt cold all over at this moment, as if he fell into a deep cellar.

If he had learned about the things his good brother did behind his back before, he had already been extremely angry. Then this time, when he heard the news that Prince Lin was dead, Wang Shiquan was completely terrified.

Prince Lin, dead? !

Died in their hands? !

How dare they murder the Prince of Lin?

Are they crazy? !

Wang Shiquan could never imagine that Wang Changjin would dare to do such a thing. Once the Prince of Lin died, their Wang family would definitely be involved. Thinking of the consequences he was about to face, Wang Shiquan was extremely angry.

Even though he didn't like the Prince of Lin, Wang Shiquan never thought of killing him. The consequences of killing a prince were too heavy, so heavy that he couldn't afford it.

The sky of Xunyang County was about to change!

However, Wang Changjin only glanced at Wang Shiquan and said, "Don't worry, things haven't reached the worst yet."

"Not the worst yet?!"

Wang Changjin's face was particularly ugly: "The one who died was the prince of Lin!"

"Lin Hengzhong's only son, if he dies, will Lin Hengzhong let you and me go, will he let the Wang family go?"

"The anger of the Lin family will inevitably pour down on our Wang family!"

"You have brought a catastrophe to our Wang family!!"

"..."

Wang Shiquan was extremely angry.

In such an angry mood, Wang Qin hid behind him, trembling with fear, lowering his head and not daring to breathe.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, he did not dare to speak at all and could only look to his second uncle for help.

Wang Changjin glanced at the angry Wang Shiquan, his eyes still calm: "If we don't kill him, the secrets of our Wang family will be exposed, and the Wang family will also suffer disaster."

"Instead of being angry, you should think about how to solve this problem!"

"solve?!"

Wang Shiquan said in a cold voice: "How to solve it?!"

"If Lin Jiangnian dies here, will Lin Hengzhong let us go? How can you and I give an explanation? Will Lin Hengzhong just let it go?!"

Wang Changjin shook his head gently: "There is no room for maneuver in this matter! Prince Lin did indeed die in our hands, but the Lin family has no evidence."

Wang Shiquan looked coldly: "He, Lin Hengzhong, needs evidence for revenge?!"

"He may not need it, but the court will not allow it."

Wang Changjin shook his head and pointed behind Wang Shiquan: "The people behind you and me will not allow it!"

"In the final analysis, Lin Hengzhong is now a thorn in the court's side. For this reason, the court will favor you and me."

Wang Shiquan stared at him and said nothing.

Wang Changjin sat up and said, "The Lin family has no evidence that you and I killed Prince Lin. So what if we offend him, Lin Hengzhong?"

"Our Wang family really can't afford to offend him, but we are definitely not vegetarians."

Wang Changjin glanced at him: "You are a dignified Governor of Xunyang. What can he do without evidence? Don't forget that we still have the protection of the Governor behind you and me..."

"Lin Hengzhong is indeed ruling the sky in Linzhou, but this is Yanzhou after all, and we are not really afraid of him. Don't forget, our Wang family still has so many alliance forces in Yanzhou, and everyone's interests have been bound up in Yanzhou over the years. Together, they will not sit idly by.”

After hearing this, Wang Shiquan's expression softened slightly.

But it still doesn’t look good.

"Lin Hengzhong, Prince Lin, is really not going to let it go. But without any evidence, he only has a few ways to take revenge..."

Wang Changjin narrowed his eyes: "Either he breaks into Yanzhou alone and comes to trouble you and me... If he dares to come alone, why should my Wang family be afraid of him?"

"Lin Hengzhong is certainly one of the few masters in the world, but there are so many masters in Yanzhou, so why can't I stop him?"

"Either it is Lin Hengzhong who sends troops to Yanzhou..."

"But he doesn't dare!"

"Once he dares to do this, he will be convicted of treason. How will the court let him go?"

"At that time, it will be the best time for the court to take action against him!"

Wang Changjin spoke calmly.

Wang Shiquan stared at him: "How can you guarantee that the court will take action?"

Wang Changjin sneered: "I have already compiled a book and sent it to the capital. I think they will be interested in it. Don't forget, if our Wang family is finished, they will not end well... Our Wang family has given them so many benefits over the years. , and left so much evidence..."

A cold look flashed across Wang Changjin's face: "Once something happens to our Wang family, they won't even think about it easy!"

"..."
